Before we even get into this subject, please keep one thing
in mind: as the name suggests, "supplements"
are just that - supplements. They're meant to supplement
your workouts, and diet and nutrition. They're not some
miracle pill that's going to achieve your goals for you
- that, is completely up to you. Too often, I see people
relying almost solely on supplements to get where they want
to be, but it just doesn't work that way. Too many times,
I have beginners ask me questions like: "will creatine
make me big?" - the answer is a simple no... not if
you don't have a good nutritional plan and a good workout
program in place to stimulate the muscle growth. And so
on...
Just remember that there are no miracle supplements; however,
various supplements, if used correctly together with a good
diet and workout, can help you achieve you goals, and sometimes,
even exceed your own expectations.
Bodybuilding Supplements I Use
There are 2 basic categories of supplements: 1)regulars,
2) non-regulars. The "regulars" are basic supplements
that I always have as part of my stack. Non-regular supplements
are just various supplements that I like to "test"
out, or something that I throw into the mix.
Below is a list of the supplements I used during my 6 week
stack:
That's a long list huh? Well, don't get
scared, because you don't need all of them. ;-) And I didn't
buy them all in one shot either... I don't have that much
money to spend. It's sort of like order after order, the
left over stuff just adds up over time. So, what goes in
the "regular" category, and what goes in the "non-regular"
category?
"Regulars" - Supplements
These are supplements that I use all the
time, or used the most often, and it includes:
Protein supplements - such as
whey protein, protein blends, and egg protein. Of these,
if I had to choose just one, it would have to be whey protein.
Protein supplements are something that I always use.
Creatine - is always cycled.
For me, I typically do 1 cycle of 4 to 6 weeks, and take
1 to 2 cycles off (4 to 8 weeks). And most often, I like
to make my own homemade cell tech. You can see my
recipe here.
Glutamine - this is another supplement
that I always use, and never cycled. More on these later.
Non-regulars
Everything else pretty much fits into
this category, such as ribose, zma, tribulus, NO2, etc...
I should've made a 3rd category for supplements,
and that would be health supplements, such as multi-vitamins
and flax seed oil. But I'll get into all of these in a bit
more detail in the later parts.
